Oracle CEO Larry Ellison: “Exadata Version 2 is twice as fast as Exadata V1 for data warehousing, and it’s the only database machine that runs OLTP applications. Exadata V2 runs virtually all database applications much faster and less expensively than any other computer in the world.”

again I updated the x64 Server configuration paper with some installation support links and information.

I decided to give the baby a name ( hahaha ).
It is now called x86 Server Configuration Whitepaper ( waa hooo - sounds great )and the files named x86_ServerConfigWP.pdf ( german version ) or x86_ServerConfigWP_engl.pdf ( english version ).

Recently I heard about some claims of a customer about the installation process of x64/x86 servers.
He said, he had some problems and issues with OS drivers, the ILOM and BIOS firmware and settings and the installation of drivers for Sun-installed components option cards when using Windows or supported Linux OSes.

The weblink provides a download of the wizard for all x64/x86 servers including blades, and links to the manual, to a BigAdmin Feature Article and finally also to a discussion forum.

I updated my paper "How to configure x64 Servers" x64_server.pdf ( german and english x64_server_engl.pdf version available ) by adding the link.
You can find the paper here .
The purpose of this paper is to help customers to configure their x64 servers.
Feedback is appreciated.
